Last week,I tried to call my teenage niece back telling her something important I had heard on the news about pets in her area.And my hot-headed brother-in-law andwered the phone and yelled at me for calling.They live with his elderly parent's and they asked me not till call after 9:00 PM or before 9:00 AM and it was about 10:00 AM.Well my mom talked to my sister and she said she did not blame me for being upset with my brother in law.But she has not called or emailed me.And she only lives 20 minutes from me.So,it's not like a long distance call.My oldest son lives with my mom and her brother.They screen their phone calls,so when the answering machine comes on they asked me to say hello,so they know it's me.If they don't answer that usually mean's they aren't there,one might be taking a nap and the other one taking a shower,whatever.So,I will call back in a few hours.My son get's mad and yell's at me that they can see I called or he will tell them.He never does tell them and sometimes not all call's go on their caller ID.Depending on what mood he's in he has a big attitude problem.I had to quickly move and the only thing that I could find cost's more than I could afford,so my youngest son needed a place to live.I told him,that he,his fiance and their baby,that I did babysit have the basement,but my younger daughter and I would have to go down to go to the backyard,because that's the only door.And the laundry room is down there right at the bottom of the steps.Of course they can use the kitchen.When we moved here,his fiance did not go back to work,so I lost the income for the babysitting.See,before I moved my son asked me to quit my part time jobs,which only amounted to $290 a month,but every little bit help,especially when my socail security check is $18,000 a month.So,I said ok and he said he would pay me what I lost.He changed jobs and she lost some hours at her job,so I said just give me $200 a month.Other sitter's charge $100-$125 a week,here.I asked him for $300 rent plus half the utilities.After we moved here,he changed jobs again to make better money and benefits.So,he was slow about paying me.So,I had to pay all the rent of $1,400 up front.His fiance would say she was bored sitting here all day,so I would go talk to her a few times a day.She got mad and left him and took the baby to her mom's.The car was her's and she took it,so I drove him to work at 6:45 this morning and was suppose to ask his boss if he could take his work truck home.He told me that his fiance left because I was bugging her by going down and talking to her.He said she said every hour,that's not true.I told him to try and work thing's out with her and he said he couldn't because she want's us them to be totally left alone.It was a problem me coming down to do laundry. And he said that I must be nuts thinking me talking to her helped her any.They had no problem coming up and asking me to keep the baby monitor with me,so they could go out.Now my son has no car to get to work.My other son owes him money and is giving him a hard time about paying him.Now this girl is going to take their baby and move to California,we are in Virginia.So,there is going to be a custody case going on.If I kick my son out,he will not get partial custody or if he looses his job.What should I do?Any ideas

i am living the same nightmare. after living with us for six years my stepson has finally gotten the idea i'll help you if you help me. thats the way it is. my best suggestion is to let them know they are moving out, as of now. find another sucker to leach on. pay or get off the pot. you're living for free quite complaining. and i'm sure they don't mind looking thru your freezer. got anything we can eat?. no don't bother to ask. dad won't mind. sound familiar?

Thanks.My problem is thatIam renting this house.I had to move out of my previous place with no warning and this is the only place I could get.I can't afford it by myself and my son agreed tomove in here to helpme pay the rent and utilities.My landlady gave special permission for them to live here and she comes by here alot.Matter of fact she want's to come here when Iam not here and stay for the day.She get's her mail sent here,has her car registered at this address,which make's no sense to me,because in the county she live's in they have no county registration or county tax on vehicles.So,if I kick him out Iam going to have to rent the basement to someone else,but the owner won't allow it.So,I need to earn at least another $400 a month.
